* i'm 6"3
* 125-130kg
* Budget 1000 - 2000euros or may be abit more.
* Daily riding: work, all road except forests or actual mountains.
* Longer distances preferable
* Somewhat comfortable
* More hand positions than a MTB.

I have a Cube Aim Disc 29er mtb which still rides nice (i maintain it myself) and has road tires (Schwalbe Big Apples). Yesterday i had my longest ride ever (46km) but as i was pedaling i was itching for more speed. And body felt like it wanted to bend even forward. Since MTB in general have lackluster of hand positions i guess i was tired.
I love being outside and i want to do more than 50km rides instead of 15km which does not even satisfy me.

Which or what kind of bike would u recommend? Gravel? Buy another MTB?
I hope i provided sufficient information.

Thank you.
What frame size do you want.
